External links

How do I make external links open in a new tab? There doesn't seem to be a way to that here.
Tried Lightbox, but that isn't really working for links to another site. I;d rather just open in a new tab.

Not sure which version you are using, but with C5.6 if select something to link externally be sure to select 'Target' (third box down) and pick 'Open in new (_blank)' and remember to save.
That's the way I'm used to doing it, too. I'm using 5.7.3.1 and in Redactor, when adding a link to some text, that is not an option. Only opening the link in Lightbox is offered, not a new page or tab. Of course, elsewhere the option is there, like when adding a link to an image. That works fine, but not in Redactor. So I figured, maybe I'm just missing something.
Not missing something, just not available?
What you could do is after, say selecting some text, is choose to link and type in url. Then view the 'html' using the code button (</>), then add target="_blank" after the link.
Example: <a href="http://www.concrete5.org/" target="_blank">Concrete5 website</a>

That worked great! Thanks for the help. Very much appreciated.
